Aunt Rachel Says 13 Poems is a declaration, an interrogation, an occasional hymn. The speaker, a working class woman in her fifties, directly addresses both her wife Susan and the reader in a series of ardent monologues. Over the course of this series, she applies a personal theology to questions of file transfer, domesticity, the environment, football, organized religion, bar culture, urbanism, composting, and the future. As it turns out, Aunt Rachel has a great deal to say.

In April 2020, I wrote and published-by-mail an apocryphal fourteenth poem.

In November 2020, I published a video version of a fifteenth poem, which you can watch here.
